Chapter 887
Chester noticed Francine’s discomfort, so he walked over and gently comforted her before reaching out to take the rest of the flyers from her. He could not bear to let her continue with the job.
However, Francine insisted on finishing what she started. She refused to let go of the flyers and boldly introduced Chester’s tutoring service to the impatient parents before politely passing them the flyers.
Corinne raised her eyebrow when she saw this. “Hey, Mister, are you happy with the brother-in-law I picked for you?”
Jeremy was surprised to see his arrogant little sister willingly letting down her pride to help a poor guy pass out flyers. However, the admiration on his face quickly disappeared when he remembered that poor. guy used to covet his wife.
“He’s okay,” he answered coldly.
“He’s the top student in his class, and both of his parents are intellectuals. Not only is he good-looking. but he’s humble too. What’s rare about him is he never flirts around. I mean, where can you find someone like this nowadays?”
Jeremy frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. “It sounds like you know him very well. Could it be because you’ve had an interest in him before?”
Corinne knew Jeremy was jealous again, so she tried to explain, “He’s the school’s hunk, so all the girls in our school would talk about him often. I just happen to overhear them sometimes.”
Jeremy scowled and scoffed coldly. “If that kid is as good as you say he is, then he won’t fall for Francine at all.”
‘He’s right. A scholarly family wouldn’t be coerced by a wealthy family. The only good qualities Francine has are her looks and her wealthy family. Other than that, she doesn’t have much going for her. Though, there’s a chance Jeremy is just jealous and won’t admit just how excellent Chester is…”
Corinne did not say any of that out loud, of course. The two of them simply let Francine be and walked a little further from the school to avoid bumping into her. However, what Corinne did not expect was that the city hall was located in front of the school.
She watched a couple who had just registered their marriage come out hand-in-hand. They radiated sheer joy as they discussed where they should go to celebrate.
Seeing this brought back the memory of Jeremy’s vague, evasive attitude when Annie suggested he bring Corinne to register their marriage in the city hall.
Frankly, she did not really care about that piece of marriage certificate as she knew that it would not be able to protect her relationship with Jeremy from going sour or for him to suddenly treat her wrong. She only needed to look at what happened to her mother’s broken marriage to know that. Thus, it did not make a big difference to her whether she got a marriage certificate or not.
However, she could not help but feel a little peeved at Jeremy’s evasive attitude that day.
“Hey Mister, since we’re here, do you wanna go get the marriage certificate?” Corinne asked nonchalantly as though she was just asking him whether he wanted to get some ice cream.
Jeremy was surprised. He looked toward the city hall for a second before turning to look back at her. Why the sudden urge to get a marriage certificate?” His tone made it sound like she was asking for something unreasonable.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
